Premiered in August 2011 at the Historic Museum of Saarland in Saarbrücken, Germany.

The music develops around texts from Aeschylus, Borges, Camus, Dante, Goethe, Plato and Striggio, which Bernd Reutler, inspired by the work of
sculptor Janine Kortz-Waintrop, selected. The texts are recited integrally in the piece and make up it's central axis: death, Im Schattenreich (in the realm of the
shadows).
